great book. is fair with both the good and the "bad" concerning Mr. Shaeffer, the bad meaning whatever negative things others may have had to say about him. very informative. this book does nothing to diminish Shaeffer in my eyes. Well written, gives good chronological history. Lots of quotes to keep stuff in perspective. Learned a lot I didn't know, and I have been a Shaeffer fan for four decades. This is worth reading if Christian philosophy is your niche.
